I have activated cards from both on my Pinephone and it seemed to go well but I can not make usable connections (calls usually do not connect at all) and the phone will not stay registered.
Do I have to get another SIM and activate it on a different phone? That seems to be what most do.
I got a SIM from Ting. Checked compatibility: good. Activated: successful. Result: same behavior as with Tracfone and US Mobile. Data somtimes works. Calls sometimes complete but sound is always delayed and interrupted and the calls always terminate after varying lengths of time (usually just a few seconds but someimes several minutes).
Has anyone else successfully activated a Tracfone, US Mobile, or Ting SIM in the Pinephone and then had telephony work?
